Figure 2. Schematic diagram of the bacterial flagellum. The bacterial flagellum is composed of basal body rings, namely the C-ring, MS-ring, L-ring, and P-ring, and an axial structure consisting of ...

When selecting a microscope, it’s important to consider various features, such as the field of view, frame construction, lighting, optical quality and resolution. There are several types of ...

Biofilms are clusters of microorganisms that stick to non-biological surfaces, such as rocks in a stream, as well as to surfaces on plants (roots) or in animals (epithelium). These clusters are ...

Microbial syntrophy, a cooperative metabolic interaction among prokaryotes, serves a critical role in shaping communities, due to the auxotrophic nature of many microorganisms. Syntrophy played a key ...
